There once was a place
36 all the people were happy and
37 . Everyone was friendly and neighborly. Even the dogs and cats
38 together.
Then one day a stranger was seen
39 toward the village: a tall, tall stranger. As the stranger, who was a giant,
40 closer and closer, the people all ran into their houses and wouldn't come out.
The giant
41 the village. He was enormous, towering over everything.
42 a little girl stepped out on her porch. She jumped down from her porch. Her family yelled, "STOP! COME BACK! That's a giant!" But she didn't stop. She began to walk 43 the giant.
The strangest thing
44 . As the child walked toward the giant, he grew
45 . Soon he was the same size as the girl. As she came beside the giant, she
46 him. She stooped down and gently
47 the giant up in her hands, asking, "What's your name?"
The giant whispered, "My name is F-E-A-R! Help me!! I have a terrible
48 . I guess I look strange. When I meet people they are afraid of me. And when people are afraid of me, I suddenly grow into a giant and everybody runs away from me. YOU are not afraid of me, so I stayed small. Do you
49 it? It's crazy! Please help me!"
"I can take you for a walk through our village," the girl responded. "I want everyone to hear of your problem. When they know the truth, they will no
50 be afraid of you. While we are going from house to house you can look at me
51 , and then you will stay the same size as you are now.
"But
52 we go, let's change your name. What do you want to be called? YOU should not be called FEAR, because YOU are not afraid. It's the people who look at you
53 fear you. That's what causes you to grow into a giant."
"Will you hold my hand
54 ? If I get scared I'll shut my eyes. Oh, and will you please call me
55 ."
